Disingenuous to say nbg is 'just' another form of greed.
Often in a greed grouo players will spontaneously pass on an item that another player could use.
It feels good to help others progress, and that is worth more than pp to some.

That is how it should be though.... in a greed group everyone is offered an equal chance... and each player can use their own discretion to pass or not. I often pass on items I don't need when someone else could use the item. Especially when it is a friend or guildie.
But if Im grouping with an overtwinked A***ole who is looting every corpse like a mad man. While Im still wearing leather/banded. You can better believe Im going to roll on the valuable drop.
In another example I saw a ranger who was wearing a crested helm at the entrance of Guk.... join my Exe/Sav group 2 hours later.... without a helmet. Now If I didnt recognize him, he would of gotten one over on our group.
The problem if NBG is it removes individual discretion from the process. And as a blanket rule it can be used and exploited by greedy people.
If the baseline is everyone rolls... nothing can be exploited. And I can decide to pass based on comparative equipment and actual need.
Greedy people can exploit NGB
Greedy people can not exploit when everyone rolls
